The Star: Steak & Mushroom Empanadas
Empanadas are a classic for a reason—they're easy to make, perfect for any gathering, and you can customize the filling to suit your cravings. For this recipe, the earthy flavor of mushrooms pairs beautifully with tender steak to create a filling that’s juicy and flavorful. We sauté the steak and mushrooms with garlic, onions, and a blend of spices before wrapping them in empanada dough and baking them to a golden, flaky perfection.
The best part? These empanadas are versatile. They work as a crowd-pleasing appetizer, a main course for a cozy dinner, or even a party snack that guests can enjoy with minimal fuss.
The Sides: Heirloom Tomatoes & Green Beans
To elevate this meal, we’re serving it alongside a fresh heirloom tomato salad and lightly glazed green beans. The tomatoes add a bright, refreshing contrast to the rich empanadas. A simple drizzle of balsamic glaze enhances their natural sweetness while adding a tangy kick.
On the side, tender green beans are tossed in a light olive oil glaze, which adds richness without overpowering the fresh, crisp texture. These sides balance out the heartiness of the empanadas, creating a well-rounded plate that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious.
Perfect for Any Occasion
Whether you’re planning a casual dinner, prepping for a party, or just looking to switch up your weekday meals, this dish hits the spot. The empanadas can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer, so all you need to do is pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve. Pair them with a crisp white wine or a refreshing cocktail, and you’ve got a meal that’s sure to impress.
